You should be able to pull an inventory from any repo mentioned in your /etc/apt/sources.list by appending ls-lR.gz to the base URL, thus: # Example using http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ wget http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ls-lR.gz ...from which you can see if the package of interest is present and assemble an URL to use for hauling that package onto your local system where you can have your way with it using dpkg and such. It'd be nice if in{stead of, addition to} ls output they supplied full (relative) pathnames to make such URL assembly more straightforward, but at least the info is all there. Of course, this is all terribly fiddly and mentioned here just FYI - the general solution to your puzzle may lie on another path entirely... >-/ _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
